The Spanish sports press has commented widely on the news this Thursday, February 11 because Neymar is one of the major assets of the PSG in this double confrontation against the men of Ronald Koeman. For good reason, the former FC Barcelona player, strong man of the PSG, risks not playing the match go to Camp Nou. Injured in contact with defenseman Steeve Yago in the 60th minute in a painful game won by PSG (1-0), Neymar leaves the anxious pitch despite the words of comfort from Kylian Mbappe and new coach Mauricio Pochettino. 

Even if nothing is done yet, the probability of seeing Neymar on Tuesday 16 February at Camp Nou remains almost nil. According to clinical tests, he suffers from a «Grade 2 lesion to the adductors», and rumor has it that an injury should last at least one month.A few minutes after the match, the Parisian star posted a message on social networks. “Honor and glory to God in all these moments”, tweeted Neymar, who thus hands over his destiny to God while waiting for the results of the medical examinations.
